Article Abstract
In this study, we propose a continuous assay that provides a high-throughput, efficient method for screening the regioselectivity of lipases at the sn-1,3 and sn-2 positions on triacylglycerols (TAGs). This assay measures the specific hydrolysis rates at the primary and secondary positions of TAGs derivates containing oleic (O) and punicic (P) acids. The method is based on the absorbance ratio of released punicic acid from the hydrolysis of sn-POP (sn-1,3 regiospecific lipases) and sn-OPO (sn-2 regiospecific lipases). The method was validated using pure lipases with known and unknown regioselectivity. Unexpectedly, we found that recombinant Lipase 4 from Candida rugosa (rCRLip4) exhibited significant sn-2 regioselectivity, indicating greater regioselectivity than recombinant lipase A from Candida antarctica (rCALA). In silico analysis and molecular docking studies were conducted to elucidate the main structural differences between CRLip4 and the non-regioselective isoform CRLip1. This continuous regioselective lipase assay on TAGs is versatile and can be used to screen for sn-1,3, sn-2 or non-regioselective lipases. It holds significant potential applications in the biocatalytic production of structured lipids and other industrial processes where regioselectivity is crucial.

Relative to free antibiotics, polymer-antibiotic conjugates (PACs) can possess modified solubility, sustained release behavior, and prolonged bioactivity in biological systems. As one of the most potent and ubiquitous antibiotics, clindamycin (Clin) has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity with versatile medical applications. However, polymer-Clin conjugates have not been reported yet.

Hydration at biological interfaces plays a crucial role in enzyme function by stabilizing structures and driving conformational dynamics essential for catalysis. However, preserving these delicate hydration microenvironments in organic solvents remains challenging, undermining nonaqueous enzymatic catalysis and impeding industrial biocatalytic applications. Here, we tailored artificial hydration-like microenvironments for enzymes by integrating flexible oligo(ethylene oxide) chains, rich in hydrogen-bonding acceptors, into the confined channels of covalent organic frameworks (COFs).

The enzymatic synthesis of esterified flavors is pivotal in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Among the available approaches, lipase-catalyzed reactions have gained increasing attention due to the enzymes' biodegradability, high enantio- and regioselectivity, availability, and effectiveness under mild, eco-friendly conditions, aligning well with the principles of green chemistry. This topic was selected due to the vast potential of biocatalysis in the sustainable and efficient synthesis of diverse flavor compounds.

Since early 1990s, diacylglycerol (DAG) has drawn a continuous trending interest among researchers and oil industries/markets as part of a reduced-energy diet due to its functions to prevent and manage obesity. With the accumulated knowledge, a stereoisomer of sn-1,3-DAG is regarded as the sole compound to contribute to DAG's functions. sn-1,3-DAG can be produced by direct esterification of free fatty acids and glycerol, partial hydrolysis of TAGs/edible oils, and glycerolysis of TAGs/edible oils with glycerol using the regioselective microbial lipases as the catalyst.
